Poorly designed windows don't have the built-in airlocks, weather stripping, and barriers necessary to keep air from forcing its way in. Without these design features, air will push between the sash meeting rails and around the sash perimeter where it meets the frame and sill.

We know how uncomfortable a home with leaky windows will be. So we loaded the Pro™ window with weather barriers that go far beyond the industry standard and other manufacturer's window designs.

WHY DO WINDOWS LEAK AIR?

POINTS OF AIR INFILTRATION

Sill

Sash Perimeter

Sash Meeting Rail

Before Investing in New Windows, Always Compare the Air Infiltration Ratings.

Facts You Should Know

The lower the CFM Rating... • the less outside air will leak into your home.

• the more comfortable your home will be with fewer drafts.

• the less your furnace will run & the more money you'll SAVE.

• the smaller your carbon footprint.
